I looked through a lot of the “Making 22 ARC” brass threads that I could find before posting this question. So if I missed this thread I do apologize.
I’m looking at building a 22 ARC AR rifle for coyotes hunting, and I want to run Lapua brass. I know Lapua makes 6.5 Grendel brass, and I want to use the 22 ARC Modular Sizing Die from Short Action Custom.
So my question is can I just run the Lapua brass into the SAC 22 ARC sizing die, with the appropriate neck bushing, and I am good to go? One of the guys at SAC said their die is not intended to form the body of the case, and to the best of my knowledge from reading posts, the 22 ARC has the same dimensions as the 6.5 Grendel other than being necked down.
Second, has anyone had to neck turn after necking down to a 22 ARC?
